🛠️ Jehanin the Iron-Hand
Clan: Ventrue
Role: Guild Whisperer of Poitiers – Overseer of blacksmiths, masons, cobblers, and other artisan guilds
Demeanor: Bureaucrat
Apparent Age: Mid-40s
Appearance: Stocky, weathered face, short-cropped iron-grey hair, and callused hands from centuries of staged labor. Dresses in finely-made but practical woolen garments in neutral tones, marked with the sigil of a guild patron saint.
🧠 Character Concept
Jehanin is no artist. He’s a logistics master, a mediator, and a political chess player who understands how nails, mortar, and leathers keep a city from falling apart. His influence is less about vision and more about control: he keeps craftsmen loyal, guilds cooperative, and production moving—even in a city where undead politics often disrupt mortal economy.
Eudes uses Jehanin as his enforcer in guild affairs—when a stonemason’s strike risks a scandal, when a brewer hides shipments, when someone gets clever with counterfeit tokens.
